The crappiest comic strip ever.

[SmileyBoy]

Forget Mallard Fillmore. This crappy strip is called "Rose is Rose", and it sucks all the activity out of your brain. Even though it's non-political, I think it just has to be worse than Mallard Fillmore or BC, cause even though those other strips aren't funny, at least they try to provoke something in you. This strip is like brain atrophy.

Credits to BlueOysterDemocrat on this one. I just had to warn you all of this affront to my reading ability. I can just feel my brain cells dying.

1. You want to read Mary Worth

for something strange.

[enigmatic]

2. "Mary Worth" is hysterical when you're stoned...n/m

[HawkerHurricane]

3. I happen to enjoy Rose is Rose.

If you want crappy, try this...

9. Oh that's HORRIBLE!!

It's like Bill O' Reilly has his own comic strip.

[Bridget Burke]

4. Nope, it's "Brewster Rockit, Space Guy"

New to the Houston Chronicle:


Replacing "9 Chickweed Lane":

[hatrack]

19. I thought this was a parody, like Tom The Dancing Bug

Trust me - his strips include "The Two-Fisted Justice of Judge Scalia", "Lucky Ducky" (based on the legendary John Fund of the WSJ and, of course, "God-Man: The Hero With Omnipotent Powers".

30. damn

9 Chickweed Lane is GREAT! they cancelled it??

[Pithlet]

5. I would take this strip over Mallard any day.

Or Family Circus, or D.C.

[bbernardini]

6. Sometimes the strips with the cat are funny to cat owners.

Trust me on this one. :) The rest is crap, though.

[mykpart]

7. My sense of humor must be gone

along with my short-term memory. I don't even laugh at "Cathy" or "Doonesbury" and more.

[MrSlayer]

8. I hate the Family Circus and Garfield.

The Family Circus is a neo-con cartoon and Garfield is stupid, it's so predictable it's sickening.

[sans qualia]

10. I'm particularly put off by

Umbert the Unborn

[TreasonousBastard]

13. <gasp!>

[Pithlet]

17. Oh. My. God.

That is just... I don't know...

[rucky]

18. woah

woah

[eleny]

39. I don't have the guts to click on the link

[JohnKleeb]

11. is that supposed to be funny?

Help me here NW.

[SmileyBoy]

23. No, it's not.

That's the point. It's incredibly lame humour.

[Gemini Cat]

12. Several off the top:

Peanuts, Cathy, Ziggy, Garfield and Family Circus.

[bloodyjack]

25. PEANUTS???

Could it be that you know absolutely nothing about anything??

ARGH

[2bfree]

35. I hate Peanuts as well...........

A hundred years ago it was cute but now it just takes up space. They should have canned it 20 years ago. The guy is dead, why is it still in the paper?

[Pax Argent]

14. My son and I are cruising the lounge

and he wanted to say that "Get Fuzzy" kinda' sucks.

Personally, I really don't care for any of them anymore with the exception of The Boondocks. The days of GOOD Dilbert, Calvin and Hobbes, and Bloom County seem like they were a lifetime ago.

Gratuitous smiley use (per my son's request):
:wow:
:nuke:

[Pithlet]

15. Oh, Get Fuzzy is one of my favorites

I miss Calvin and Hobbes.

[WoodrowFan]

32. love the dog, ahte the cat

love the dog (Stachel) in "Fuzzy" but that cat needs to be put up for adoption!

[pagerbear]

37. You can get vintage Calvin & Hobbes in your mailbox

[TreasonousBastard]

16. Lighten up...

it's only a comic strip.

Ain't no law sez all the comix have to appeal to all of us.

[Enraged_Ape]

20. The funnies just aren't funny anymore

I thought about writing a country song with that title. Seriously, though, I haven't laughed at a newspaper comic strip in years.

I do find some "Doonesbury"s, "This Modern World"s and "Boondocks" amusing, but still not laugh-out-loud funny.

Call me a curmudgeon, but modern comics died with Charles Schulz. And probably long before that.

[amazona]

34. I think I might be easily amused

I laugh out loud at comics all the time.

[PittPoliSci]

21. that's awful...

it just made the new revised top five worst strips:

1: mallard fillmore
2: family circus
3: rose is rose
4: marmaduke
5: for better or for worse

6: (now knocked off) little orphan annie

[NightTrain]

22. On a more positive note, my favorite comic strips include...

...Zippy, The Boondocks, Non-Sequitur, and--though it's getting kind of lame--Doonesbury.

[-..__...]

24. The "fucking" Phantom.

"The ghost who fucking walks".





Clever little fucking gimmick they have going. Since the title/throne/ring is bequeathed from generation to fucking generation (for 400 fucking years and no one has a fucking clue that it's not the same fucking guy :think: ), they (the fucking "writers"), can continue running this fucking sorry excuse for a fucking comic until the next fucking ice age.

You wanna see fucking sad...



A least "Rose is fucking Rose" or the "Family fucking Circus" hasn't been made into a fucking movie.

Count your fucking blessings.

[Blue-Jay]

26. I like these

[TreasonousBastard]

27. Anybody else get "Pearls Before Swine"?

It mysteriously showed up a while ago in our local fishwrap:



For the record, I sometimes kinda like Rose is Rose, but I open the comics for Non-Sequitar, Get Fuzzy, Mutts, Over the Hedge, and Shoe.

[WoodrowFan]

29. Pearls cracks me up!

VERY funny strip. Love when they make fun of Family Circus.

[nuxvomica]

28. Two questions

1) Is the wife actually a cat?
2) Are the butterflies cherubim, like in "Precious Moments?" *shudder*

I had never seen this abomination before. Thanks for posting. ;-)

[WoodrowFan]

31. cancel all the strips by dead guys

cancel any strip written by a dead guy, except for Peanuts, which is still one of the 5 best comics EVER. Dennis the Menace, Shoe, who else??

[amazona]

33. have to admit i laughed out aloud over the "garbage moment" ones

Not too familiar with this strip but the ones you chose are pretty cute.

[2bfree]

36. I really hate Cats With Hands.........Ugh!

I don't get it at all.

[jmowreader]

38. Most comics suck these days

And one of the suckiest is Blondie.

Are there any actual jokes in that one? Let's see...

* Dagwood eats to excess, never gains an ounce. I think he has a tapeworm
* Dagwood can't get out of bed in the morning, keeps pissing off his carpool
* Dagwood has a long, LONG list of fucked-up relatives
* Everyone who provides a service to Dagwood gives him shit. Barbers, mailmen, short-order cooks.
* Dagwood's boss is one step removed from Benito Mussolini
* Dagwood owns the world's largest tool collection. All of it is at his neighbor's house.
* The few tools he has left, he can't use.
* Dagwood golfs poorly, bowls worse
* Blondie's client list includes only fucked-up individuals
* Dagwood sleeps at work. Gets fired and rehired so often the HR office has quit processing the paperwork.

You get the idea. I think they do like the "Get Your War On" guy and just use clipart.

[Khephra]

40. I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Andy Capp

[joeybee12]

41. Hey! As Homer Simpson says, "Oh Andy Capp, you hilarious, drunken..

...wife beater!"
